A Friendly Wave
The Cape Cod Central / Mass Coastal Railroad welcomed a big crowd to their second annual Railfans Day on Saturday August 17, 2024. The big draw for photographers this year was the operation of their two serviceable (they also own a third) classic original New Haven FL9s coupled back to back just as they would have operated leading the Neptune or Day Cape Codder up from New York City back in the early 1960s.
New Haven 2011 and 2026 (blt. Sep. 1960 and Sep. 1957 as NH 2038 and 2007 respectively) are leading the second of three trips back to the festivities seen here at MP 76.4 on the MassDOT owned and Mass Coastal Railroad operated Cape Mainline just after passing under US Route 6 only a bit over two miles from their destination at Hyannis yard.
